not a proper foodie

Posts Tagged ‘cocoa’

I needed a chocolate fix and there was no chocolate in the house…eek! There was, however, good quality unsweetened cocoa in the pantry. I decided to make hot chocolate and give it a whirl in the blender with some ice (it being 80+ degrees outside and all).

Well, I made more than enough super-rich hot chocolate, so I poured the rest in little plastic cups, stuck a half giant straw in each (I just happened to have those big fat straws used for bubble tea lying around), covered with plastic, and placed in the freezer.

I also put a tiny bit of sweet condensed milk on the bottom of the little cups before pouring in the chocolate. How I love sweet condensed milk.

The popsicles turned out so amazingly rich, chocolaty, and beyond my wildest expectations, that I just had to blog about it.

I basically used what I had on hand, which was good cocoa, milk, and sweet condensed milk. The sweet condensed milk made the hot chocolate silky and rich, and of course, sweet. I started with the milk and cocoa over heat and kept adding more cocoa and sweet condensed milk until it was super rich and thick and tasted amazing. That was it.
